Enver Hoxha: There are … some petty-bourgeois ideologists and people of sincere revolutionary inclinations who, disillusioned by the (Khrushchevite) revisionist betrayal, are questioning the fundamental principles of Marxism-Leninism and trying to create new theories or to revive old ones. They preach that Marxism-Leninism is incomplete and inaccurate, that allegedly it no longer responds to the new historical conditions of various countries or continents. In this situation, when the ideological confusion which the modern revisionists caused and are seeking to keep alive has become more pronounced, the great importance of the struggle of all the Marxist-Leninists for the liberation of the working class and labouring masses from all the influences of bourgeois and revisionist ideology and of the various petty-bourgeois trends, the arming of them with the only scientific ideology, Marxism-Leninism, emerges very clearly. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5559

Enver Hoxha: Rigid and sectarian attitudes also damage the line of the Party. In the recent times such attitudes have been apparent among some communists and cadres who, when the Party exposed and condemned elements with a liberal, opportunist and hostile spirit, began to look with undue suspicion even at some small and unimportant blemish. The tendencies observed sometimes in some people to resort to administrative methods where persuasion and education should be used are also sectarian. Those who display sectarian tendencies often pose as “consistent and principled revolutionaries”. But in fact they are opportunists and act in this way in order to be “on the safe side”. These opportunist vacillations stem from lack of a correct grasp of the nature of the two types of contradictions which exist in our society, from confusing antagonistic with non-antagonistic contradictions. The Party must make these matters completely clear and explain that opportunism cannot be fought with success if sectarianism is not fought at the same time, and vice-versa. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5560
